Survivors Of The War On Terror

This project is a product of comparison of both H-Block prisoners of 1976-1981 and recently released Guantanamo Bay prisoners. I have conducted this research in order to show the inhumane criminalisation they had endured. The interviews were based on their time in prison and in order to respect their confidentiality, their identities were not shown. I have also hidden their identities in order to eradicate stereotypes of which prisoner is which, this would furthermore highlight the similarities without the names. I had a personal push to undertake this project as I feel like what happens in the past still happens today. I have presented this by the extreme similarities between the H-Block survivors that happened decades ago and the Guantanamo Bay survivors which were very recent.
